FAIRHOPE – City Council members plan to postpone the Fairhope Arts and Crafts Festival from mid-March until at least the end of April due to COVID-19 precautions.
Officials supporting the delay said that date is tentative, and the event could be pushed back further or canceled if the pandemic continues. The council voted in 2020 to call off the festival for that year due to the coronavirus.
